Y´all remember this...Terry wrote: I am sharing this post with you all.  My best friend, Katherine, wrote this and wanted me to send it on to you all....One of the songs, was ‘Some Kind of Love’.  Well, if that didn't define our situation, I didn't know what did!  We had all those kinds of  love - all wrapped up into one relationship.
Some kind of love is like gold,
Some kind of love starts as friends,
Some kind of love comes too soon,
Some kind of love heals your wounds,
Some kind of love tears you apart (I loved the moth to the flame line)
Some kind of love never dies.........
Some kind of love is like gold.
This is for you, Katherine and Terry
’Some Kind of Love’ is from “Wingless Angels”, RCA 1975.  Best re-release as CD is on Bear Family (1990), two LPs on one CD - “Cannons in the Rain (originally RCA 1973) / Wingless Angels”.  The song is also on the live double CD “Front Row Music: Before the War”, Neon Dreams 2001.
The version below is from “Wingless Angels”.  On “Front Row Music” the song is shortened a bit and John plays it in the key of C throughout. F or those who find
key changes difficult, simply take the chords from the “middle third” of the song and transplant them onto the first and the last third.
